Graduation Party Snap Shots

So. Much. Bruin. Pride. 

The cutest candy bar. The candy and hanging photos doubled as decorations and party favors.

The dessert table. Homemade chocolate cupcakes and lemon cake with a pretty peony on top! 

So happy that my favorite little Junior Cheerleader came to the party! 

Speech time. Some of the most special moments of the day were when loved ones shared memories throughout the years and dreams and prayers for my future. Cue the tears! 

More speeches, more sweet memories, more tears, more hugs.

What a perfect graduation celebration. Last Saturday, my family threw the most thoughtful, creative, beautiful, and fun party I could have ever dreamed of. And the best part? It was all a surprise until the day of the party! Since both my high school and university colors are the same, most of my house/backyard was turned blue and gold. And I loved it! With my wonderful mother in charge, each of my family members handled a different aspect of the party. From the photo map to the cake to the festive flowers- they did it all! Their love and thoughtfulness came through each detail, and the day was full of so many smiles, laughs, and even a few (happy) tears! It meant the world to me to be surrounded by so many people I love to celebrate this milestone. 

I’ve never seen centerpieces with so much school spirit! 

All of the places I’ve been. The world map was such a special touch tho the party, and I have a feeling it might be coming with me to college! 

So much love for my mama's beautiful spirit and the sweet words she said to me this day. 

Sweet Little Lauren helped me open presents! 

Cousin love!
